Turn growing cyber demand into your next career move

In the UK today, cyber threats are intensifying – so it’s no surprise the cyber security sector now employs a record 69,600 people, up 3% on last year (Cyber Security Sectoral Analysis 2026, UK Gov). Study our online MSc Computer Science with Cyber Security degree to develop skills in everything from secure software development and network defence to digital forensics and ethical hacking.

Our programme has been developed in the City of London, where cyber policy, tech firms and national defence intersect at the centre of Europe's largest tech and AI community (Dealroom Global Tech Ecosystem Index). You don't need a computing degree to apply – just the drive to drive to take your place in a market where 95% of global organisations report at least one cybersecurity skills gap (2025 ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study).

Graduate in as little as 1 year – confident that what you learn matches what employers are and will be hiring for, and with the confidence to think like a computer scientist as cyber security technology advances. You'll study 100% online, with regular feedback from your expert module tutors built into every 8-week module, and the option to switch to part-time when you need more flexibility. 

What you'll learn and why it matters

  • Learn to outthink evolving threats with the judgement to adapt your defences, and keep learning as attackers do. 

  • Design and implement secure software, networks, and systems to defend against emerging threats.

  • Apply advanced cyber security techniques in areas such as cryptography, ethical hacking, and digital forensics.

  • Build and manage scalable, cloud-based infrastructure with embedded security best practices.
  • Complete a cyber security research project shaped around your own workplace or the field you're moving into, so you're ready to lead security initiatives and teams.

I actually wanted to say how happy I am that I’m studying on this programme and how lucky I feel. The programme is very well structured, the study materials are solid, and it has helped me develop my skills and knowledge significantly. There are many online programmes available, but finding one that combined academic quality, accessibility and affordability was very important to me.
